Longevity from Liao Zhai

Chapter 117 Ice Condensation Technique

Although the Demonic Blade Qianren was reluctant, it still devoured the bodies of several people cleanly due to the fear that Zhou Ping would "abandon you".

Zhou Ping collected the clothes of several people and burned them.

That way, the clothes and the accident were all gone.

However, while sorting their clothes, Zhou Ping also picked up a lot of things.

First of all, it was money. He found more than 500 taels of silver from five people, and three silver notes of 1,000 taels from Song Tianlong.

In addition, Song Tianlong had some bottles and jars on him, including three bags of gold powder that could harm ghosts.

There are two bottles, one bottle contains pills that can replenish spiritual energy, and there are three pills in it.

There was another bottle with only one pill in it. Zhou Ping saw that Song Tianlong took it out after his throat was pierced, so he guessed that it was a holy medicine for healing.

Zhou Ping didn't recognize the other bottles and jars, but he carefully put them away. In addition, there were three keys, which Zhou Ping also put away.

The five people had some scraps of copper and iron on them, but Zhou Ping found an ancient jade disk on one of them.

The jade disk is engraved with complicated patterns, which do not seem to be something from this era.

Zhou Ping guessed that the jade bi was a valuable antique, so he put it away.

As for those scraps of metal, Zhou Ping didn't want them.

However, Zhou Ping also found a spell on a person.

This piece of paper seemed to be torn from somewhere else, and it had "Ice Condensation Technique" written on it.

One page of paper just tells you how to melt water into ice.

Zhou Ping read it several times, then memorized the contents on the paper and burned it.

There are few Taoists in this world, but all of them are powerful figures.

As the saying goes, magic is not easily passed on, Zhou Ping rarely comes into contact with magic.

The value of this ice-condensing spell is far more than several hundred taels of silver.

Zhou Ping cleaned up the mess and breathed a sigh of relief. Fortune, after all, comes faster through murder and robbery.

More than three thousand taels of silver, some precious pills and a spell.

However, Zhou Ping lost three years of his life because of this!

But it's all worth it.

Zhou Ping's cultivation also reached the eighth level of warrior in this battle.

The eighth-grade warrior's cultivation directly raised Zhou Ping's combat power to a higher level.

The amount of spiritual energy in his body now is comparable to that of the seventh grade!

In addition, the perception range of the Heavenly Spirit Method increased by another fifty feet.

The perception range is two hundred and fifty feet.

Zhou Ping rode his horse in the tunnel.

The ghost baby was leading the way, and the ghost bride followed him.

"Congeal the ice!" Zhou Ping shouted in a low voice and made some hand gestures.

A piece of ice the size of a grain of rice appeared on Zhou Ping's finger.

This is the ice freezing technique.

However, according to what is written on the pages of the book, ice freezing can freeze a person in ice and prevent their movements.

In addition to being able to freeze people, ice condensation can also create ice spikes to attack people.

However, Zhou Ping had been practicing for a day, but he still couldn't make large ice cubes or ice spikes. He could only make a very small ice cube.

This ice cube has no freezing or killing effect.

"So cool!" Zhou Ping licked the ice.

I have to say, eating an ice cube in the summer is a nice experience.

Zhou Ping suddenly had an idea. He could make an ice drink.

"Come again." Zhou Ping circulated the spiritual energy in his body and chanted the spell according to the formula of the ice freezing technique.

This time, the ice cubes formed by the ice condensation technique were slightly larger than before, but only slightly larger, equivalent to a full grain of wheat.

"Go!" Zhou Ping used the object control technique to shoot the ice out.

The ice cubes shattered gently when they hit the stone wall.

"The ice is not hard enough. If it can grow ice spikes, it may be used to kill people." Zhou Ping's heart moved slightly, and he continued to practice the ice-condensing technique.

In the darkness, the sound of horse hooves first startled the ghost baby.

After hearing the sound of horse hooves, the ghost baby quickly got into the ghost bride's stomach. The ghost bride also returned to Zhou Ping's side.

All along, the ghost bride felt that she could help Zhou Ping.

However, in several battles with the enemy, the ghost bride was always defeated first. For cultivators who often walk at night, they all have ways to deal with ghosts.

The ghost bride’s advantage is that she has an eighth-grade cultivation level, but her disadvantage is also obvious. She has no magic to protect herself.

She only knows how to control objects, create fog, and cast fireballs.

These spells are still far from enough!

Zhou Ping sensed someone coming, so he rode his horse to the side.

The sound of horse hooves came from far away.

Zhou Ping frowned slightly. He could hear the sound of horse hooves, but the sound was a little strange.

The sound of horse hooves was so light that it seemed as if they were floating.

A white horse was carrying a handsome young man as if it was flying.

This young man was none other than Fan Shiyi.

Fan Shiyi also saw Zhou Ping.

It's just that they were riding too fast and the two of them disappeared in a flash.

Zhou Ping was confused: "What's this for? Why are you riding so fast?"

"Stop!" Fan Shiyi suddenly stopped his horse.

I don’t know if it was because the force was too great, but Fan Shiyi squeezed the painted horse into a pool of ink.

Fan Shiyi was caught off guard and fell off her horse. She rolled several times on the ground before landing safely. She stopped and half-crouched on the ground, exposing her buttocks.

Zhou Ping's eyes were unconsciously attracted by Fan Shiyi's hips. How many women would envy this.

When Zhou Ping thought of this, he felt a chill in his heart. What was he thinking about?

"Why are you riding so fast? Are you going to a funeral?" Zhou Ping dismounted and went to help Fan Shiyi.

Fan Shiyi looked at Zhou Ping with concern and confusion in his eyes: "You are not dead?"

She entered the tunnel two days later than Song Tianlong, and Fan Shiyi thought that Song Tianhu had already met Zhou Ping.

Zhou Ping laughed and said, "So you're running so fast, are you here to attend my funeral?"

Xiao Qing poked her head out and said unhappily, "I'm here to attend your funeral!"

The two explained their reasons and that after being found by He Yunqing, they rushed to rescue Zhou Ping without stopping.

For a whole day and night, neither of them dared to stop!

Zhou Ping was deeply moved after listening to their stories. He never expected that they were here to save him.

"Didn't you meet Song Tianlong?" Fan Shiyi asked.

Fan Shiyi walked towards Zhou Ping's direction and did not meet Song Tianlong.

Zhou Ping paused and replied, "No."

Song Tianlong was killed by Zhou Ping a long time ago, but Zhou Ping kept a low profile. I keep a low profile and I won't say anything.

"Impossible! According to the time, I didn't meet Song Tianlong. He should be ahead of me. You should have met him." Fan Shiyi asked doubtfully.

Xiao Qing stared at Zhou Ping: "Zhou Ping, you won't kill Song Tianlong, will you?"

Zhou Ping immediately retorted: "How could I possibly kill a seventh-rank! Didn't Song Tianhu say that his brother was a seventh-rank Buddhist? How could I, a Buddhist eighth-rank Buddhist who had been initiating, kill an eighth-rank Buddhist?"

Xiaoqing jumped onto Zhou Ping, trying to find something, but found nothing.

"Xiaoqing, you are kidding, how could Zhou Ping kill an eighth-rank?" Fan Shiyi sneered. She didn't believe Zhou Ping could kill Song Tianlong. In order to dispel the doubts of the two, Zhou Ping hurriedly said: "You mentioned Song Tianlong, but it reminds me of something."

"What's the matter?" the man and the snake asked at the same time.

"I was walking in the tunnel when I heard a fight ahead of me."

"The sound is very loud, like two masters."

"I was afraid I would be affected, so I stepped back a little bit."

"I waited for the fighting to stop, and then I waited for a long time before I passed by there."

"I guess Song Tianlong had a fight with some expert."

What Zhou Ping said was three-tenths true and seven-tenths false.

Fan Shiyi nodded: "It's possible. Recently, many people have come to Qinghe County to look for treasures, and there are many masters among them."

Fan Shiyi thought Zhou Ping's statement was reliable. Song Tianlong must have met a master, so the two of them started fighting.

"Have you seen Song Tianlong's body?"

"No, I waited for a long time before going over there. There was nothing on the ground except traces of fighting."

"So, Song Tianlong was probably killed by an unknown master. Otherwise, he would probably attack you if he met you."

"It's very possible now that you put it that way."

Fan Shiyi believed what Zhou Ping said.

Although Xiaoqing believed it, she didn't believe it completely. She asked, "Zhou Ping, are you sure you didn't kill Song Tianlong?"

Zhou Ping shook his head: "I didn't kill anyone! I couldn't kill anyone either."

"Xiao Qing, what are you thinking? It's difficult for you to deal with a seventh-rank warrior, so how can Zhou Ping kill him?"

Qinghe County, tunnel entrance.

Fan Shiyi and Zhou Ping walked out of the tunnel.

As soon as he came out of the tunnel, Zhou Ping saw a carriage.

He Yunqing and Liu Ruyan were standing at the entrance of the carriage, and there was a coffin next to the carriage.

"Zhou Ping, Zhou Ping!" Engineer Yuan was He Yunqing's bodyguard, and he was the first to discover Zhou Ping.

He Yunqing and Liu Ruyan looked at Zhou Ping, both women were very excited.

Xiaobai jumped out of Liu Ruyan's arms and leaped into Zhou Ping's arms. However, she was a cat at first, but turned into a little girl when she jumped into Zhou Ping's arms.

"Zhou Ping, Zhou Ping." Xiaobai rubbed his head against Zhou Ping.

Fan Shiyi was watching from the side with envy and jealousy: "I also want a kitten that will throw itself into my arms as soon as it sees me."

Xiao Qing gave Fan Shiyi a blank look, jumped from her to Zhou Ping, and then also turned into a human.

"Zhou Ping, Zhou Ping." Xiaoqing also imitated Xiaobai's cute look.

Zhou Ping held a little girl named Xiaobai in one hand and Xiaoqing in the other.

The two girls feel very different, Xiaobai is soft and tender, while Xiaoqing has a slender waist.

Zhou Ping's hands couldn't help but slide to the waists of the two women. He wanted to see whose breasts were thinner.

Xiaobai's waist is slightly fleshy and soft, while Xiaoqing's waist is extremely thin and smooth.

The two women did not notice what Zhou Ping was doing.

Xiaobai was immediately unhappy, she turned into a cat again and bit Xiaoqing's waist.

Xiaoqing quickly turned into a snake.

A snake and a cat jumped back and forth on Zhou Ping and Fan Shiyi.

"Is this coffin bought for me?" Zhou Ping said, looking at the worried expressions of He Yunqing and Liu Ruyan.

He Yunqing blushed slightly and said nothing.

Engineer Yuan gave Zhou Ping a bear hug and said, "We all thought you were dead. Miss He and Madam Liu have been waiting for you for several days without sleep."

Zhou Ping felt a little warm in his heart. He didn't expect that someone still cared about him.

"It's good that you're okay, it's good that you're okay." Liu Ruyan clasped her hands together and made a gesture of worshiping Buddha.

But she pulled her arms and legs together, revealing her proud breasts. Zhou Ping was almost blinded by the brightness.

The lights are too big and too bright.

"Thanks to Master Fan for saving you." He Yunqing thought it was Fan Shiyi who saved Zhou Ping.

Fan Shiyi waved his paper fan and chuckled, "I didn't save him. He's still alive."

He Yunqing, Yuan Gong and others looked confused, only Liu Ruyan seemed to think that everything was natural.

"I didn't meet Song Tianlong. Song Tianlong must have been fighting with some master and was beaten to death." Zhou Ping explained.

He Yunqing and Yuan Gong suddenly realized what was going on. Liu Ruyan, who was standing by, was stunned for a moment before returning to normal.

"Song Tianlong was killed by an unknown master. Zhou Ping, you are so lucky." Yuan Gong was an entry-level warrior, and he knew what the seventh rank represented.

A seventh-rank warrior could destroy the entire escort agency.

Even if Song Tianlong wanted to kill the head of the Yan family, it would probably be easy.

But such a master was actually killed by an unknown master.

Engineer Yuan felt that Zhou Ping was really lucky. In the past few days, they all thought that Zhou Ping was going to die, and prepared a coffin in advance, at least to ensure that Zhou Ping's body would not be exposed in the wilderness.

Zhou Ping said: "I didn't kill his brother, so I don't know why he wanted to kill me."

"That's right. This guy is so bad. Bad guys will get their comeuppance." Liu Ruyan said while holding Xiaobai.

Everyone returned to the house happily.

The county government office was filled with a foul stench.

The bodies of Song Tianhu and his dozen or so men had already rotted and turned smelly, but no one dared to move.

County Magistrate Lu was afraid that Song Tianlong would cause trouble, so he did not dare to touch the corpses.

"Lord Lu, Lord Lu." Wang Cheng's face was full of joy.

County Magistrate Lu had two pieces of paper stuffed in his nose. "What's the matter? Why are you so happy?"

Wang Cheng said: "These bodies can be collected now."

County Magistrate Lu immediately became alert. The stench of the dead bodies made him unable to eat. Over the past few days, he had lost several pounds.

"Song Tianlong is back? He wants us to collect the body." County Magistrate Lu thought that Song Tianlong had come back to claim the body.

Wang Cheng shook his head.

County Magistrate Lu was immediately disappointed. To him, nothing was more important than Song Tianlong's matter.

If Song Tianlong wasn't sent away, County Magistrate Lu would be unable to sleep or eat.

"Song Tianlong is dead?" Wang Cheng said.

County Magistrate Lu's hands trembled, and the hot tea in his hand spilled on him: "What did you say?"

Wang Cheng told the story of Fan Shiyi going to rescue Zhou Ping, but Fan Shiyi failed to save Zhou Ping, and Zhou Ping did not meet Song Tianlong.

"You mean, Song Tianlong was killed in the tunnel, and his body was not found?" County Magistrate Lu took a lot of effort to digest this. He really didn't expect that Zhou Ping was not dead, but Song Tianlong was dead.

County Magistrate Lu paced back and forth and finally admitted the fact.

If Song Tianlong was really alive, he would definitely not let Zhou Ping go. But Zhou Ping is still alive, so Song Tianlong might have really been killed by an unknown master.

"Zhou Ping is so lucky." County Magistrate Lu couldn't help but sigh.

Wang Cheng said from the side: "Zhou Ping originally had nothing to do with this matter."

County Magistrate Lu then remembered that Zhou Ping did not kill Song Tianhu, and he had no deadly hatred with Song Tianlong. Song Tianlong wanted to kill Zhou Ping purely to vent his anger.

"I would have forgotten if you hadn't mentioned it. I thought the two of them had some big grudge against each other. It turns out that they don't have any grudge against each other." County Magistrate Lu slapped his forehead and suddenly realized. After all this time, Zhou Ping actually had nothing to do with this matter.

"Sir, please take this body."

"Well, put it away quickly, it stinks."

"Sir, the He family's share of the money should be given to Zhou Ping."

"Give it to Zhou Ping! He is an eighth-rank official after all. I'll find a chance to have dinner with him later. It's not easy to find an eighth-rank official in Qinghe County. I can't afford to offend him."
